INTRODUCTION
The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), a statutorily created entity under the PEC Act,, 1975 by the Government of Pakistan for regulation of Engineering operations in Pakistan, inter alia, finalized and issued the PEC (Conduct and Practice of Consulting Engineers) ByeLaws, 1986 and its subsequent amendments . These Bye-Laws cover the basic (legal) issues and regulations to provide a general guidance for conducting and practising the profession of Consulting Engineers. However it does not provide detailed instructions/guidelines for handling the selection process for prequalification (short-listing) of consultants who are considered qualified to participate in the final selection process. Accordingly, in the absence of proper defining of the key activities/sub-activities to select and employ consultants, the departments/clients in public and private sector as users of consulting services are handicapped to finalize the selection of the best possible consultants in an efficient, effective, economic and transparent manner. For guidance of the Implementing agencies/entities mandated to select the best technically qualified firm, Standards and Quality Committee (S&QC) of the PEC has decided to finalize detailed instructions/procedures and compile these in the form of an independent document. It is expected that these guidelines will facilitate selection of appropriate number of consulting firms to participate in the final competitive process leading to award of the assignment. The basic aim of this document is to evolve a good practice for selection of a limited number of firms for the short-list of consultants leading to final selection of the best and adequately qualified firm to procure services from. Wherever relevant, the PEC Bye-Laws have been referred, which infact is the basis for this document and govern the provisions in this document. To make this document as complete as possible for carrying out its intended functions, some standard forms etc. have been appended which can be amended to suit to the specific requirements of the project for which services are to be procured. The document is envisioned to cover and offer assistance to the client formations in the following areas:a) b) c) d) e) Drafting and Issuance of Notice for expression of interest (EOI) in the Press. Finalization of the Long-list of Consultants. Finalization of format for seeking applications from the Long-listed consultants for prequalification. Evaluation of applications received from the applicant Consultants. Grading and finalization of the list of consultants to be prequalified

WHY PREQUALIFY CONSULTANTS?

Prequalification and short-listing of Consulting Firms from the long-list has following inherent benefits not only for the client formations but also for the consulting profession and the consultants themselves: Encourages consultants to prepare high quality proposals. Increases the possibility of selecting most suitable consultants. Facilitates a closer and meaningful evaluation of Technical Proposals. Reduces time for evaluation of proposals. Reduces the chances for extraneous influences. Reduces the cost of business development of consulting houses which is part of consultants overhead costs and ultimately chargeable to the clients.

3.0
3.1

NOTICE FOR PREQUALIFICATION

The PEC Bye-Laws require the client formations to ensure equal and unbiased opportunity to all the eligible firms i.e. the ones registered/licenced by the PEC to practice engineering profession in Pakistan. The Notice (Standard Form at Annex-A) must be publicly notified alongwith scope of work of the project for which the services of a consultant are required. In addition to the foregoing, the client formations may also seek their Expression of Interest (EOI) from the following: Firms which have previously satisfactorily performed similar services for the client on a similar project. Firms having already applied to the client and communicated their EOI prior to issuance of public notification. Firms which have been involved in an earlier activity on the project e.g. feasibility studies before services are to be procured for detailed design and other activities that follow. Firms selected on the basis of data on consultants obtained from the PECs Data base.

3.2

PEC has computer based data on consulting firms and individuals available on the PEC Web Site on special request by the client entities. This data has been arranged in the form of separate sub-lists for all disciplines/sub-disciplines of engineering and specialized expertise for all types of engineering projects and project components so that firms with appropriate expertise in every field of specialization could be identified and picked for inclusion in the long-list/ short-list. On the basis of the Expression of Interest (EOI), clients previous experience with specific firms and selection from the PEC Database, the committee constituted for handling the selection process should review initially individually and then jointly for developing a long-list which should vary between a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 firms i.e. minimum of 2

3.3

(2)

and a maximum of 4 times the number of firms to be prequalified and included in the shortlist and to be invited to submit their technical/financial proposals. The only guideline for the committee is that it should proceed with consensus and discuss the cases of borderline firms. Inclusion of a weak firm in the final list can always jeopardize the chances of successful implementation of the project. 3.4 For guidance of the Client/Implementing Agencies a set of sample Forms No. A-1, A-2 and A-3 have been provided with the Annex-A for preparation/processing of the applications for preparation of a long list.

4.0
4.1

APPLICATION FROM LONG-LISTED CONSULTANTS

General The long-listed firms may be invited to submit their applications on a standard format through an Invitation Letter, a sample of which is placed at Annex-B. This letter should contain only a brief outline of the project; it should not ask for detailed proposals such as required from the constructors for prequalification. Consultants should be required, however, to submit their statements of capability with proper references. Their capability can be judged on the basis of their experience on projects of similar nature, their general experience and the quality of their top-line specialists available to the firm on assured basis.

4.2

Criteria/Procedure Some of the considerations which should be listed in the Letter of Invitation (LOI) for the short-list generally include the following:i) The firm must be registered with the PEC. If there is a requirement of expertise from some foreign firm, it should be registered as a Joint Venture with the PEC as required under respective PEC Bye-Laws. Level of responsibility and extent of experience coupled with extensive experience in the more demanding features of the project should be a critical feature for consideration. Experience with similar project authorities and similarity/size of the projects. Experience in the kind of services under consideration such as feasibility studies, design work, procurement, construction supervision or management. Volume of the consultants services in terms of total number of staff-months as their specific input and the staff strength is sufficient to indicate that the firm would be able to handle the requirements of the project. The expertise required for the project should be listed and the consultants should be advised to submit short CVs of their experts. These expert positions should

iii) iv)

v)

vi)

(3)

preferably be limited to a maximum of 5. However list of entire related professional staff on the firms role should be part of the Application. vii) The staff should be judged on the basis of their experience on previous similar assignments.

In the light of the afore-given, the degree and extent of the firms involvement in those job experiences is important. It may also be seen whether the firm gained the specific experience as principal or as a subsidiary partner in the joint venture i.e. was its role primary or supporting for the particular features. Additionally, experience as individuals is not taken into consideration under the head experience of the firm. Each of the afore-given considerations must be assigned appropriate weightage matching their importance. 4.3 Evaluation Criteria 4.3.1 There are two essential elements for judging the capability of any firm to perform credibly on a given project. These are its previous experience on similar projects and its professional staff having the specific expertise to meet its obligations during the assignment. It is essential that appropriate importance/weightage is assigned to each item. It is recommended that it should be assigned in the following ratio:(i) (ii) 4.3.2 Experience of the firm Quality of its Personnels expertise 30 percent points 70 percent points

The committee constituted to compile the shortlist should also decide about the threshold minimum score for the firms below which limit they would not be considered for prequalification and inclusion in the shortlist. The threshold should preferably be fixed between 60-70% of the total points.

5.0 5.1 5.1.1

EVALUATION OF APPLICATIONS
Evaluation of the Experience As a general guide it is proposed that the experience should be considered under two heads i.e. specific experience and general experience. Weightage for specific experience should be 70%. For specific experience which is similar in magnitude and complexity, even one previous project is considered enough to inspire confidence in the firms capability. However, for the purpose of ranking of the firms for inclusion in the shortlist, a maximum of 3 to 5 projects should fetch full marks for the firm under specific experience. The experience for the first project should be nearly as much as the threshold score and the remaining projects should be awarded points in descending order, e.g.:No. of Projects 1st Project 2nd Project For Max. 5 Projects 50 Percent 75 Percent For Max. 3 Projects 70 Percent 90 Percent

(4)

3rd Project 4th Project 5th Project

85 Percent 95 Percent 100 Percent

100 Percent -

5.1.2

Similarly the general experience should also be considered after certain limitation in numbers because after certain number, more projects may not add much to differentiate between the competitors. Weightage of general experience shall be 30%. A maximum of 10 to 20 projects should be enough number to fetch full hundred percent points. A sample is proposed as follows:-

Where Maximum Number of Projects is fixed as 20 Numbers of Projects Min: 3 4-5 6-7 8-10 11-13 14-16 17-20 Proposed Criteria 20% 40% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%

Where Maximum Number of Project is fixed as 10 Number of Projects Min: 2 3-5 6-7 8-9 10 Proposed Criteria 25% 60% 85% 95% 100%

5.2

Other Factors There are some other factors which do have a bearing on the overall proficiency of a firm in meeting its obligations later during the currency of the contract. For example, when training of Clients staff is a requirement on the project, the firms having previous experience and resources could be better placed to perform that part of the assignment. Similarly experienced home office professional staff as well as availability of equipment/software and facilities are useful for timely handling of critical issues and in time availability of

(5)

equipment/facilities respectively. These and such other factors which differentiate between otherwise excellent firms should be considered as weighted qualifications. 5.3 Evaluation of Quality of Staff 5.3.1 For the sake of assigning weightage to judge capability of the firm on the basis of expertise of its staff, the following steps may be adopted:i) List the type of essential expertise required for the project. ii) The number of discipline- types included in the list should be the most important ones and be limited to a maximum of 5. iii) Assess the relative importance of each expertise viz-a-viz the requirements of the project. iv) Assign number of credit points to each expertise/the staff member nominated for that expertise. Nominated experts should be evaluated on the basis of the following three items of qualification as demonstrated in their C.Vs:i) ii) Academic Qualification 20-30 Percent Professional Experience 60-70 Percent Specific 80% General 20% Experience of working environment 10 Percent . Nationally 60% . Internationally 20% . Specific Area within the Country 20% Which is based on: Specific Province 60% Regional Language 40%

5.3.2

iii)

5.4

Evaluation of applications should preferably be carried out individually by the committee members on forms jointly developed by the committee and using the pre-determined weightage award sub-criteria. Sample Forms for evaluation of experience and staff are placed at Annex-C, Forms C-1 and C-2 for the committees reference and guidance. After finalization of the evaluation, each member should compile the grading list containing a Summary of points and the Annex-C, Forms C-1 and C-2 a copy of which be submitted to the Convenor of the Committee before a formal meeting is convened by him. FINALIZATION OF SHORT-LIST The selection committee should hold a meeting to review the evaluation/grading carried out by the individual committee members. The basic aim is to review the capabilities of consultants securing top most positions in the individual grading on each list. Since the members have evaluated the firms on the basis of an agreed criteria hence it has considerable advantage of organized discussion and consideration of those firms only which are not unanimous choice. The discussion will yield a more balanced grading of firms and

6.0 6.1

(6)

finalization of the short-list. Additionally, discussions in this meeting shall reduce the likelihood of unsupported personal bias. 6.2 The PEC Bye Laws under General Regulations require that the status of the Partners, Directors, Owners for the sake of conflict of interest must also be verified before its inclusion in the short-list. For this purpose, the applicants should be required to provide this information in specific terms and any misrepresentation should be made a ground for rejection. Firms may also be forewarned that in case of their selection, any such links, if detected during the currency of their contract, would be reported to the PEC for cancellation of their registration/licence leading to their blacklisting. 6.3 It is reiterated that the short-list of prequalified consultants should not be excessively long. There is a global consensus that for proper competition and selection of a good firm the minimum number should not be less than FOUR and the maximum number, for ease of processing, should not be more than SEVEN. It may be remembered that longer short-lists tend to be self-defeating as the selected firms may decide that the chances of winning the assignment does not justify thorough preparation of their proposals.
